Hi @TransLink, I don’t think being at the stop 5 minutes prior helps when your bus is 6-7 minutes ahead of schedule

BLOOPERS! - @T2PFilms

Film Crew - @KenHyyy @DennisTT @tbodnar2003

Was a blast. 😂

Yesterday was the perfect day to go experience @KitsapTransit and the Fast Ferry to Bremerton.

The Bremerton Transportation Center was something every ferry service could learn from. Simple connections to transit, as it should be.

It was an honour to film my first @T2PFilms transit race last summer.

Thanks for letting me be part of the amazing day!

[Bryan Gal @thetransitsite]

@T2PFilms @jasonchow106 @TMetroElfren Hat tip to @KenHyyy for being the MC and video editor. Special thanks to @tbodnar2003 for camera crew.

To the rest of the crew… was a blast of a day. @T2PFilms @jasonchow106 @TMetroElfren

Can’t wait for future races. Y’all have fun in Japan!

Cars in our national parks should be considered a pollutant, and we need far better transit and access to them, full stop. https://t.co/ZJ6FW7j4ok

Wait till you see what crafty urban planners are trying to slip into your community!

"15-minute city" might be one of the most misunderstood bits of planning jargon I've ever encountered. Here's a short list of the type of outcomes you might expect to sneak in the US as part of this trojan horse campaign:

Healthy Haven: The neighborhood is buzzing with active individuals who joyfully walk and ride bikes because it’s too easy not to. Anxiety, depression, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, chronic pain all go down.

Sidewalk Serenity: There’s a tranquil ambiance where cars are optional guests. The absence of constant traffic noise creates a peaceful environment to unwind, be outdoors, and engage with other humans.

Bike Bonanza: With the skyrocketing popularity of electric bicycles, running errands and commuting becomes a breeze, making everyday tasks easier and more enjoyable.

Community Connections: Walkable, bikeable neighborhoods foster a strong sense of community, as residents frequently interact. Neighbors become friends, creating a tight-knit social fabric.

Greener and Cleaner: With reduced car dependency, you’re enjoying what feels like a luxury—more open natural space and cleaner air.

Budget Boost: Now that you were able to go from 3 to 2 cars in the household, you’re saving $10,000 per year. A walk-friendly, bike-friendly neighborhood (ahem, 15-minute neighborhood) is a wealth creator.

Thriving Local Businesses: The local economy flourishes because “buy local” is the easy and obvious choice, not just a slogan.

Stress-Free Mobility: Everything is so close! Remember the before-days when corner markets and restaurants were required by law to be in different zones from houses? Crazy. Now you’ve got shorter travel distances, even if you do opt for a car.
_

Instead of dismissing 15-minute opponents as kooks, ask them friendly questions about their likes and dislikes. I guarantee you’ll find shared interests, and they’ll probably end up supporting the basics of a 15-minute city even if they insist on using a different term.

Thank you, Toronto!

It breaks my heart to hear of instances like this. Transit photography is something I, and many others enjoy doing, and we often spend our own money on transit fare only to be berated by people we look up to (transit operators)

Photography is not a crime.

[claire @floppatakes]

WMATA operator of this train(Yellow Line train 307 at National Airport): “Don’t make me take that camera 🤬🤬🤬”

Meanwhile, non-commercial photography is completely allowed on @wmata , correct? I didn’t interfere with any operations/passengers and stayed entirely in public areas

[Trevor B @tbodnar2003]

Don’t worry, I do have some @TransLink stuff. Gotta stay loyal to what got me started in the transit community

[Trevor B @tbodnar2003]

And the collection of @BCTransit “memorabilia” grows…

Note the right hand corner, my ad with @WhistlerTransit, still one of my proudest moments

[Trevor B @tbodnar2003]

A ride in a $600,000 vehicle.

For. Free.

Doesn’t get much better than that.

[Trevor B @tbodnar2003]

Woohoo! The UMO app works in Canada!

(And I linked my account with @ridewta too)

@denisagar @hulloferries @OmarAlghabra If you can’t bring an e-bike onboard Hullo by law, than how can you bring an e-bike onboard BCF 🤔

[Trevor B @tbodnar2003]

@denisagar Not to mention that the 620 isn’t nearly as frequent as the 257

And I wonder how many people will get to Duke Point without realizing transit services to Nanaimo’s dtwn is nonexistent?
